Obama, the African Colonial

American Thinker ^ | June 25, 2009 | L.E. Ikenga

Had Americans been able to stop obsessing over the color of Barack Obama's skin and instead paid more attention to his cultural identity, maybe he would not be in the White House today. The key to understanding him lies with his identification with his father, and his adoption of a cultural and political mindset rooted in postcolonial Africa.

Like many educated intellectuals in postcolonial Africa, Barack Hussein Obama, Sr. was enraged at the transformation of his native land by its colonial conqueror. But instead of embracing the traditional values of his own tribal cultural past, he embraced an imported Western ideology, Marxism. I call such frustrated and angry modern Africans who embrace various foreign "isms", instead of looking homeward for repair of societies that are broken, African Colonials. They are Africans who serve foreign ideas.

The tropes of America's racial history as a way of understanding all things black are useless in understanding the man who got his dreams from his father, a Kenyan exemplar of the African Colonial.

Before I continue, I need to say this: I am a first generation born West African-American woman whose parents emigrated to the U.S. in the 1970's from the country now called Nigeria. I travel to Nigeria frequently. I see myself as both a proud American and as a proud Igbo (the tribe that we come from -- also sometimes spelled Ibo). Politically, I have always been conservative (though it took this past election for me to commit to this once and for all!); my conservative values come from my Igbo heritage and my place of birth. Of course, none of this qualifies me to say what I am about to -- but at the same time it does.

My friends, despite what CNN and the rest are telling you, Barack Obama is nothing more than an old school African Colonial who is on his way to turning this country into one of the developing nations that you learn about on the National Geographic Channel. Many conservative (East, West, South, North) African-Americans like myself -- those of us who know our history -- have seen this movie before. Here are two main reasons why many Americans allowed Obama to slip through the cracks despite all of his glaring inconsistencies:

First, Obama has been living on American soil for most of his adult life. Therefore, he has been able to masquerade as one who understands and believes in American democratic ideals. But he does not. Barack Obama is intrinsically undemocratic and as his presidency plays out, this will become more obvious. Second, and most importantly, too many Americans know very little about Africa. The one-size-fits-all understanding that many Americans (both black and white) continue to have of Africa might end up bringing dire consequences for this country.

Contrary to the way it continues to be portrayed in mainstream Western culture, Africa is not a continent that can be solely defined by AIDS, ethnic rivalries, poverty and safaris. Africa, like any other continent, has an immense history defined by much diversity and complexity. Africa's long-standing relationship with Europe speaks especially to some of these complexities -- particularly the relationship that has existed between the two continents over the past two centuries. Europe's complete colonization of Africa during the nineteenth century, also known as the Scramble for Africa, produced many unfortunate consequences, the African colonial being one of them.

The African colonial (AC) is a person who by means of their birth or lineage has a direct connection with Africa. However, unlike Africans like me, their worldviews have been largely shaped not by the indigenous beliefs of a specific African tribe but by the ideals of the European imperialism that overwhelmed and dominated Africa during the colonial period. AC's have no real regard for their specific African traditions or histories.  AC's use aspects of their African culture as one would use pieces of costume jewelry: things of little or no value that can be thoughtlessly discarded when they become a negative distraction, or used on a whim to decorate oneself in order to seem exotic. (Hint: Obama's Muslim heritage).

On the other hand, AC's strive to be the best at the culture that they inherited from Europe. Throughout the West, they are tops in their professions as lawyers, doctors, engineers, Ivy League professors and business moguls; this is all well and good. It's when they decide to engage us as politicians that things become messy and convoluted.

The African colonial politician (ACP) feigns repulsion towards the hegemonic paradigms of Western civilization. But at the same time, he is completely enamored of the trappings of its aristocracy or elite culture. The ACP blames and caricatures whitey to no end for all that has gone wrong in the world. He convinces the masses that various forms of African socialism are the best way for redressing the problems that European colonialism motivated in Africa. However, as opposed to really being a hard-core African Leftist who actually believes in something, the ACP uses socialist themes as a way to disguise his true ambitions: a complete power grab whereby the "will of the people" becomes completely irrelevant.

Barack Obama is all of the above. The only difference is that he is here playing (colonial) African politics as usual.  

In his 1995 memoir, Dreams From My Father -- an eloquent piece of political propaganda -- Obama styles himself as a misunderstood intellectual who is deeply affected by the sufferings of black people, especially in America and Africa. In the book, Obama clearly sees himself as an African, not as a black American. And to prove this, he goes on a quest to understand his Kenyan roots. He is extremely thoughtful of his deceased father's legacy; this provides the main clue for understanding Barack Obama.

Barack Obama Sr. was an African colonial to the core; in his case, the apple did not fall far from the tree. All of the telltale signs of Obama's African colonialist attitudes are on full display in the book -- from his feigned antipathy towards Europeans to his view of African tribal associations as distracting elements that get in the way of "progress".  (On p. 308 of Dreams From My Father, Obama says that African tribes should be viewed as an "ancient loyalties".)

Like imperialists of Old World Europe, the ACP sees their constituents not as free thinking individuals who best know how to go about achieving and creating their own means for success. Instead, the ACP sees his constituents as a flock of ignorant sheep that need to be led -- oftentimes to their own slaughter.

Like the European imperialist who spawned him, the ACP is a destroyer of all forms of democracy.

Here are a few examples of what the British did in order to create (in 1914) what is now called Nigeria and what Obama is doing to you: 

1. Convince the people that "clinging" to any aspect of their cultural (tribal) identity or history is bad and regresses the process of "unity". British Imperialists deeply feared people who were loyal to anything other than the state. "Tribalism" made the imperialists have to work harder to get people to just fall in line. Imperialists pitted tribes against each other in order to create chaos that they then blamed on ethnic rivalry. Today many "educated" Nigerians, having believed that their traditions were irrelevant, remain completely ignorant of their ancestry and the history of their own tribes.
2. Confiscate the wealth and resources of the area that you govern by any means necessary in order to redistribute wealth. The British used this tactic to present themselves as empathetic and benevolent leaders who wanted everyone to have a "fair shake". Imperialists are not interested in equality for all. They are interested in controlling all.  
3. Convince the masses that your upper-crust university education naturally puts you on an intellectual plane from which to understand everything even when you understand nothing. Imperialists were able to convince the people that their elite university educations allowed them to understand what Africa needed. Many of today's Nigerians-having followed that lead-hold all sorts of degrees and certificates-but what good are they if you can't find a job?   
4. Lie to the people and tell them that progress is being made even though things are clearly becoming worse.  One thing that the British forgot to mention to their Nigerian constituents was that one day, the resources that were being used to engineer "progress" (which the British had confiscated from the Africans to begin with!) would eventually run out. After WWII, Western Europe could no longer afford to hold on to their African colonies. So all of the counterfeit countries that the Europeans created were then left high-and-dry to fend for themselves. This was the main reason behind the African independence movements of the1950 and 60's. What will a post-Obama America look like?
5. Use every available media outlet to perpetuate the belief that you and your followers are the enlightened ones-and that those who refuse to support you are just barbaric, uncivilized, ignorant curmudgeons.  This speaks for itself.

America, don't be fooled. The Igbos were once made up of a confederacy of clans that ascribed to various forms of democratic government. They took their eyes off the ball and before they knew it, the British were upon them. Also, understand this: the African colonial who is given too much political power can only become one thing: a despot.

Meet Obama’s half-brother in Shenzhen

He uses the surname of his mother, Ruth, the third wife of his father who died in 1982. He was born in Kenya and moved to the US when he was a child was all that he said.

It was recently revealed that Ndesandjo had been suspended from the university by Professor Steven Chu, who coincidentally (or not) later on became Secretary of Energy in Ndesandjo’s half-brother’s (?) administration.

Ndesandjo admitted that he was caught cheating, when he swiped a peek at exam questions that he had to answer in order to be accepted into the doctoral program. Apparently Ndesandjo never went on to obtain a doctorate, but instead got a second Master’s degree, this one in Business Administration, from Emory University, in 2001.

Here’s another coincidence for you. Apparently Ndesandjo’s half-brother (?) Barry’s babysitter’s son (follow that?) graduated from Stanford with a Bachelor of Arts in Anthropology, only the year before Ndesandjo got his Master of Science in Physics:

EXCERPT:

...being one of Barack Obama’s most devoted disciples, Faleomavaega would be seeking the Indonesian government’s assistance in supporting Barack Obama’s presidential campaign as well as making the requisite pilgrimage to Barack Obama’s childhood school.

According to our Indonesian sources, “officials” who accompanied Faleomavaega were interested in acquiring any and all documentation or photographs of a young Barry Soetoro for America’s “national archives” and they were offering cash, lots of it. In a show of faith, Barack Obama’s childhood school would be one of the very first beneficiaries of this outpouring receiving thousands of dollars to upgrade the school and for the purchase of computer equipment, thanks in part to the benevolence of this visiting junket.

The challenge of course was securing Indonesian goverment records potentially damaging to Barack Obama’s candidacy for the US presidency as well as other records pertaining to a young Barry Soetoro and his family wouldn’t be so easy to acquire and secure, and for this, the visitors would need the assistance and cooperation of the Indonesian government...

Just a bunch of queers dancing with each other?

and what’s with the military combat boots?

Dunno.

Maybe he thought he was 'cool' wearing combat boots. (Maybe he stole borrowed them.)

The person wearing a white pullover, standing near his head, might be a girl? Difficult to discern.

I have the Jacobs book “A Singular Woman”; in it Sally Jacobs quotes the unredacted portion.

[Fred Nerks]

QUOTES the unredacted version, or SHOWS THE UNREDACTED MEMO?

I am under the impression that the truncated copy of the memo we have seen, came from her book.

Is that right?

And after obscuring the name of the mother and making the sentence structure impossible to follow, she wishes to impart that Mrs Obama was attempting to arrange an adoption of an unborn child, in APRIL, 1961.

[WildHighlander57]

The truncated section is in her book (”The Other Barack”, not “A Singular Woman”) & the footnote quotes the whole thing .

So did the Telegraph:

[Fred Nerks]

The Telegraph, quoting from the book

...and although they were married they do not live together and Miss Dunham is making arrangements with the Salvation Army to give the baby away

THEY ARE NOT THE SAME. THE MOTHER'S NAME IS DELIBERATELY TRUNCATED, THE SENTENCE STRUCTURE DOESN'T WORK.

OBAMA MOVED TO INDONESIA AT THE AGE OF TWO, FOURTH PARAGRAPH:

Establishing a timeline sets up the perfect test of any line of analysis of the overall development. So understanding the ramifications of this "about two" reference is very important.

First place, it is important to understand that as a devote Moslem, Obama did not celebrate his birth anniversary nor his age as most of us do--the moslems celebrate their conception. I can't complete this knowing how they know--I assume maybe they are using arithmetic and assumptions but it may very well be in this case that his true parents and he actually knew.

For this reason, Obama often appeared confused in the early going when asked about his birthday--he really celebrated the last week in October and that continued in the White House when the celebration developed into a Halloween party cover for the real story.

For that reason, the "two" in this quote needs to be understood as October 1962, two years from conception in October 1960 (and actual birth in August of 1961).

There is no record of Obama and Stanley being together anywhere in Hawaii or Seattle in the period between August of 1961 (when he was seen by Susan Botkin Blake "on the way to Boston") and January of 1963 when Stanley was modifying her passport.

There are some beach pictures which we presume were taken between December 62 and March of 63 when Stanley started school at the University of Hawaii for the first time (at which there is no record of Obama having been anywhere visible).

The fair inference is that Obama went with Stanley to Boston in August or September of 1961 where they lived twogether Stanley acting as a glorified baby sitter "Au Pair" (as she described herself in Bill Ayers cover story in Dreams).

At some point between December 62 and March 63, arrangements were made for him to go to Indonesia and Stanley to start school at U of Hawaii where they clearly were living separately from the first quarter of 1963 until the summer of 1965.
